QUESTION 3: SUMMARY [20 MARKS]

1. The mark you award to the summary should represent your final impression of its value as a
whole. Two methods should be used in the forming of this impression:

a. Marks awarded to each point made. Not all points are clearly and convincingly made,
and the tick after each point should be accompanied by an appropriate mark, not
necessarily the maximum. A mark of [1] to [½] should accompany each tick. These marks
must be placed in the body of the script at the end of each pint rewarded. The
assessment of a point covers the fact and the clarity of its expression. The addition of
the marks awarded to each point will act as a guide to an impression mark for the whole
summary.

b. Grades. The following grades will act as an additional guide to the value of each
summary. It is probably most useful to grade a summary on impression after the first
reading, before it has been marked by ‘points’.

A 17 - 20 Very good

B 13 - 16 Above average; good

C 8 - 12 Average

D 4-7 Weak

E 0 - 3 (Almost) worthless

If your impression grade and ‘points’ total do not agree, award a mark that represents your
considered opinion. Remember that a summary may be better or worse than the sum of its parts.

2 Note-Form Answers. An answer that lists the relevant points but is in well constructed sentences
should be penalised only slightly on impression at the end of the summary. An answer that is not in
sentences should be penalised for expression in the normal away.

3 The rubric warns the candidate to use no more than 110 words. Count and ignore anything more
than 115 words.

A candidate who is allowed to use more words will be given an unfair advantage over those who
observe the rubric strictly.

4 Irrelevance. No specific penalty should be imposed for this. It penalises itself as long as the
examiner applies (3) strictly.

5 Own words. Do not penalise quotation from the original passage- the rubric permits this.
Unintelligent ‘lifting’ of phrases or incomplete sentences will be penalised in the mark you award to
each point that is being made.

Each point to score 1 mark. However, points that are not convincingly put forward earn a ½ mark.

1. be competent
